Correct answer: 6

The user wants me to solve a chemistry problem involving a stoichiometric calculation.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Write the balanced chemical equation: The reaction between diborane (B2H6B_2H_6B2​H6​) and an alcohol, such as methanol (CH3OHCH_3OHCH3​OH), results in the formation of a trialkyl borate and hydrogen gas. This reaction proceeds via the cleavage of the B-H bonds in diborane. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: B2H6+6CH3OH→2B(OCH3)3+6H2B_2H_6 + 6 CH_3OH \rightarrow 2 B(OCH_3)_3 + 6 H_2B2​H6​+6CH3​OH→2B(OCH3​)3​+6H2​

  2. Identify the reactants and products:

    • Reactants: Diborane (B2H6B_2H_6B2​H6​) and Methanol (CH3OHCH_3OHCH3​OH).
    • Products: Trimethyl borate (B(OCH3)3B(OCH_3)_3B(OCH3​)3​) and Hydrogen gas (H2H_2H2​). The question asks for the number of moles of the boron-containing product, which is trimethyl borate, B(OCH3)3B(OCH_3)_3B(OCH3​)3​.
  3. Analyze the stoichiometry of the reaction: From the balanced chemical equation, we can establish the molar ratio between the reactant diborane (B2H6B_2H_6B2​H6​) and the boron-containing product trimethyl borate (B(OCH3)3B(OCH_3)_3B(OCH3​)3​). The ratio is: 1 mole of B2H6:2 moles of B(OCH3)31 \text{ mole of } B_2H_6 : 2 \text{ moles of } B(OCH_3)_31 mole of B2​H6​:2 moles of B(OCH3​)3​

  4. Calculate the number of moles of the product: The problem states that 3 moles of B2H6B_2H_6B2​H6​ are completely reacted. Using the stoichiometric ratio from step 3, we can calculate the moles of B(OCH3)3B(OCH_3)_3B(OCH3​)3​ produced. Moles of B(OCH3)3=(Moles of B2H6)×2 moles B(OCH3)31 mole B2H6\text{Moles of } B(OCH_3)_3 = (\text{Moles of } B_2H_6) \times \frac{2 \text{ moles } B(OCH_3)_3}{1 \text{ mole } B_2H_6}Moles of B(OCH3​)3​=(Moles of B2​H6​)×1 mole B2​H6​2 moles B(OCH3​)3​​ Substituting the given value: Moles of B(OCH3)3=3 moles×2\text{Moles of } B(OCH_3)_3 = 3 \text{ moles} \times 2Moles of B(OCH3​)3​=3 moles×2 Moles of B(OCH3)3=6 moles\text{Moles of } B(OCH_3)_3 = 6 \text{ moles}Moles of B(OCH3​)3​=6 moles

  5. Final Answer: Therefore, the complete reaction of 3 moles of B2H6B_2H_6B2​H6​ with methanol produces 6 moles of the boron-containing product, trimethyl borate.
